Template-guided chemistry: breakthrough for molecular cage design
7+ mon, 3+ week ago (208+ words) Credit: Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan "Oligophenylene cages have excellent stability, thanks to the chemically robust phenylene frameworks," explains Ono, "However, constructing these cages requires simultaneous and precise formation of numerous covalent bonds, which often lowers the final yield of…...
Machine-learning-aided discovery of methanol-to-olefins zeolite catalysts with ultra-high initial selectivity
3+ week, 4+ day ago (147+ words) An MTO zeolite catalyst with an ultra-high initial selectivity has been discovered at a low trial-and-error cost through a machine learning (ML)-aidedworkflow. Its etheneselectivity unexpectedly exceeds 60%, presenting thehighest reported value in the field of MTO catalysis. image:An MTO zeolite…...
